‘Piacciono’ is plural and must match a plural noun; ‘evento’ is singular, so the correct form is ‘piace’.
Ti piace questi tipo di evento?
‘Tipo’ is singular, so the demonstrative must also be singular – ‘questo’, not ‘questi’.
Le ti piace questo tipo di evento?
‘Le’ is the formal indirect object pronoun; using it with ‘ti’ mixes registers. Choose either ‘Ti piace…?’ (informal) or ‘Le piace…?’ (formal).

Cultural Tip
In Italian the verb ‘piacere’ works opposite to English: the thing that pleases is the grammatical subject, while the person who likes it is expressed with an indirect object pronoun. With friends you use ‘ti’, but in a formal setting you would say ‘Le piace questo tipo di evento?’ (using the formal ‘Lei’). Also, Italians often ask about preferences before suggesting a plan, so this phrase is a natural ice‑breaker for social outings.
